Which ttf font did you use? It seems at least like a step in the right direction as the characters are Hebrew...

Something strange is going on. I downloaded the fonts and copied them into the 'fonts' folder:

Yet on the sheet (after restarting QCAD) there is no option to choose any of those fonts (except for one, which doesn't work). For example I want to try CWHEBREW.ttf, yet it's not present:

Can't help you there. Maybe a reboot ...

Have you tried to include them under the QCAD fonts folder?
Handy when you don't use them system wide.

If you use in QCAD the option to reduce the font selection then you need to tick that font to make it available within QCAD.

Edit: I'm not on Linux but I think the font needs to be in the system font folder and not in the QCAD font folder. At least that is how I did it on Windows ... :oops:
